Tea Party for a New Grandma

Hello sweet friends!Last Tuesday I made a tea for my best friend Stephanie from NJ who is married to hubby's friend and lives here. She just became a long awaited 'grandmahood,' from her DD Christina who had baby Collin in Dallas, Texas, where she resides and it's the first time baby came to Cuenca-Ecuador. A group of friends wanted to meet him.Here are some pics I took of the two tables. We were 16 friends to greet baby Collin.

The table for six. There was an antree I served in the living room.I also served in the plates, a 'Carrot, Pineapple and Coconut Cake' and what you see in the tier. Tea and coffee.

Blue and white Onion china with yellow accents to greet the six month old baby Collin.

In the formal dining table there were ten place settings.The two tier servers with the same I mentioned before, plus the Carrot, Pineapple, Coconut Cake.

My newest lace tablecloth I love.

Sunflowers for the touch of yellow, along with yellow napkins and bows for all three tiers.

Fabby,What an amazing way to celebrate a new Grandma, with a Tea Party, dear friend!I love both tables, but my heart is swooning over the Sunflowers and that gorgeous white tablecloth!Sometimes, I forget to take photos, too!Every once in a while, you just have to sit back, take it all in and savor the moments!Fondly,Pat

About Me

I'm retired... now, this gives me time for decorating and tablescaping which are my passion...I also love to entertain at home and cook for my guests, they're usually friends and family. I love family heirlooms, as they always have a beautiful story to tell. I'm crazy about dogs, I had a pug for almost 13 years who died April-2010, I still miss him very much, specially around the Christmas Holidays, but, I'm also crazy about my grandgirls, Victoria 11 and Cayetana 8 1/2, from DD Sofia and they're my total joy. We are also expecting another baby girl from DD Alexandra. I love baking cookies with the girls and decorating them too, specially the Christmas ginger cookies. I adore my hubby for 40 years, we've been married since 1975 and he is the most wonderful, smart, lovable and handsome man, ever! I'm very,very blessed by the Lord, I owe HIM all I have received, the home I love and my lovely and dear family. Bless you my wonderful friends and thank you for letting me know you and come into your lovely homes. God bless you and yours.
